SERGI ROBERTO’S 95th-minute goal tonight capped the greatest comeback in Champions League history as Barcelona dumped out Paris Saint-Germain.

Barca were 4-0 down from the first leg, but triumphed 6-1 at the Nou Camp tonight, with three goals in seven minutes, to leave all in the stadium, and around the world, speechless and actually in tears.

Barcelona got the early goal they were desperate for, and had the PSG keeper to thank for it.

A dangerous ball was looped back into the area in just the third minute, and Suarez rose higher than visiting keeper Kevin Trapp to head over the line, desperate PSG defender's desperate attempts to hook clear.

Trapp should have at least managed to punch clear, and his misjudgement had the Nou Camp rocking, hoping the shock was on.

The Brazilian maestro then stroked home a penalty as Barca went 5-1 up - but surely there wasn't time for a sixth?

Suarez was bundled over in the box in the 90th minute by Marquinhos, and up stepped Neymar to bag his second of the game from the spot.

So at 5-1, and deep into injury time, it appeared that Barca's tremendous efforts would prove in vain.

Step forward supersub Sergi Roberto.

Neymar clipped the ball into the area, and the 25-year-old Spaniard crashed the ball home to see the Nou Camp erupt, the players run around like headless chickens, and boss Luis Enrique tear up in the dugout.

For everyone who witnessed the epic Champions League clash, they had just witnessed something unlikely to ever be repeated.

Speaking after the game, Barca midfielder Ivan Rakitic said: "It's too crazy, really unbelievable, thank you to this team, to the people all over the world, to the fans, to the stadium.

"It was a special day, it's really hard to say something. The first game in Paris was really hard for us, but the reaction today was special, history.

"We had to believe, we knew about the situation, to lose 4-0 in Paris was a hard result. But it's football. "We saw it a few weeks in Superbowl, what is possible in sport.

"This is Barcelona, we can say we are the best team in the world, and we want to keep going and keep dreaming."
